Giant reversible rotating cryomagnetocaloric effect inKEr(MoO4)2induced by a crystal-field anisotropy

Abstract: Magnetocaloric properties of KEr(MoO 4 ) 2 single crystals were investigated using magnetization and specific heat measurements in the magnetic field applied along the easy and hard axis. Large conventional magnetocaloric effect was found around 10 K (− S max = 14 J/kg K for 5 T) in the field applied along the easy axis. What is more, a huge magnetic anisotropy in the ab plane leads to a large anisotropy of magnetocaloric effect, − S R,max = 10 and 13 J/kg K obtained by a simple rotating of the single crystal … Show more

“…However, the use of anisotropic magnetocaloric materials can provide an opportunity for reducing this operation time down to the order of seconds. This can be attained by rotating well‐oriented single crystals of an anisotropic magnetocaloric material in a constant applied magnetic field, as experimentally investigated for HoMn 2 O 5 and KEr(MoO 4 ) 2 . In fact, the MCE of anisotropic magnetic materials varies depending on the orientation of B .…”

“…Most of the research concerning rotating magnetocaloric effect deals with inorganic materials [59][60][61]63,64,[66][67][68] and there are only few examples related to molecular magnets [69]. In our research we have focused on two-dimensional molecular compounds which reveal magnetic anisotropy and transition to long-range ordered phase.…”

“…The first coordination sphere of Er 3+ consists of eight oxygen atoms forming a slightly distorted square antiprism. The ground state of a free Er 3+ is 4 I 15/2 multiplet, which is split into 8 Kramers doublets with the energies E 1 = 22, (893) [4]. Interplay of crystal field and dipolar interactions results in the formation of a two-dimensional array of the Ising ferromagnetic chains below 2 K. The antiferromagnetic interchain coupling leads to the phase transition to magnetic long-range order at 0.9 K [8].…”

“…A huge anisotropy of MCE was observed in the ab plane with -∆S r , max = 10 and 13 J/(kg K) achieved by a simple rotating of the single crystal within the ab plane in the constant magnetic field 2 and 5 T, respectively [4]. Thus, KEr(MoO 4 ) 2 may serve as a promising candidate for the implementation of a compact rotary magnetic cryorefrigerator.…”
